Could anyone explain the title, please?
Being not a native speaker of English, the title "Stealing Beauty" remains ambiguous and somewhat enigmatic to me.
Who does steal? The beauty? Or is/gets the beauty stolen?
In the trailer I just watched here on imdb the off voice speaks of "beauty that will steal your hearts..." - well, okay, that makes some sense, to a degree...
But could the title not be meant ambiguously, intentionally? There are at least two more ways 'reading' it: 1) Beauty is/gets 'stolen', which rises the question of what/whose beauty, and stolen by whom?
2) I can imagine another, rather far-fetched understanding of "Stealing Beauty", namely the rhyming-associative sound of "Sleeping Beauty"... There's quite some sleep, sleepiness 'placed' in the film, and it might be worth pondering the deeper meaning of this - well, but let's not become it a Lynch-esque dream jigsaw. :-))
